Double Ouroboros Oregon Sunstone 3 Stone Oval Ring - 14k Gold

This ring was my drawlloween submission for the prompt 'Serpent', I have made a pair of snakes eating each others tail which is an ancient symbol called the Ouroboros, it symbolizes creation out of destruction or life out of death. The 3 oval gemstones are Oregon Sunstone, they have a combined weight of approximately 2 carats.

The ring in the photos is cast in solid 14k yellow gold and has sold. There are 3 additional sets of Sunstones to choose from, those can be made in your choice of 14k rose, yellow or palladium white gold in your ring size.

The top portion of the ring is just under 14mm's wide at the widest point of the top and the band is a about 2mm's wide.

♦ We use only conflict free stones and recycled metals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing details

Ring Sizing

Unsure of your ring size? Please select the smallest size when checking out and I will send you a ring sizer in the mail after purchase to confirm your size.

I highly recommend getting a ring sizer from me. If you have ordered the wrong size we can size it up or down as needed. Ring sizing starts at $25 and goes up depending on how far they need to go.
Rings with a continuous pattern like the gear rings CANNOT be sized down and will have to remade, my remake fee starts at $100. Most bands with a continuous pattern can only be sized up 1/2-3/4 of a size.

Payment Plans

We are not able to offer payment plans at this time.

What materials do you work in? What is Palladium White Gold?

Most of the white gold that you see in America has nickel as the alloy. 14k gold is about 56% pure gold, the rest is alloy. Nickel based alloys can be problematic because approximately 15% of the population is or will become allergic to nickel over their lifetime. The Palladium white gold we use is nickel free. Palladium which comes from the platinum family of metals replaces the nickel in the alloy, making it hypoallergenic. Palladium white gold has a gorgeous gray color and we do not plate any of our metals so there is no upkeep required.
Palladium white gold is just as durable as commercial white gold.

Care instructions

We include a polishing cloth with every order. For at home cleanings I recommend using a soft tooth brush and some warm soapy water. I recommend a mild and natural soap like a Dr. Bronners or a Mrs. Meyers. If your ring has stones you want to be sure to clean behind them as well to help them stay extra sparkly.
If you have a high shine silver ring that you want to stay as shiny as possible store it in an air tight container when not wearing it to avoid oxidization.

Packaging

Every piece is shipped in a tan jewelry box with a Vegan leather top. We also include a polishing cloth with every order.

Shipping & Customs

Domestic orders are shipped via USPS Priority mail, we use the small flat rate boxes that should fit in every mailbox. Signature confirmations are added at my discretion. Priority mail takes approximately 2-3 business days to arrive. Tracking info is sent to the email on file with your Etsy account.

Items not retrieved from the post office or customs will be subject to a 50% restocking fee.

International Buyers Please Note-
You may be assessed Import Duties/VAT/ Customs fees, those fees are assessed by your Government and will be your responsibility to pay. We do mark the full value of the item on the customs paperwork.

Custom and personalized orders

I do not take on much custom work. However if you are just wanting to change the stones or do a minor alteration we may be able to do that. Please contact me directly with what you would like to change.

If you have a custom project you would like me to consider please send me a clear, comprehensive message with:
-Design idea

I cannot consider a project without this information. Sketches and visual aids are always helpful. I am most likely to choose projects that stem from a design in my shop, and are within my design aesthetic.
